Contrast this report with Brett Kavanaugh's recent description of ICE's raids. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Under this Court’s precedents, not to mention common
sense, those circumstances taken together can constitute at
least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United
States. Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that
immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and
inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U. S.
citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that
individual will be free to go after the brief encounter. Only
if the person is illegally in the United States may the stop
lead to further immigration proceedings

My aunt was a songwriter and wrote a song with my name which Bette sang in recording studio, when she was just starting, and I've found the record and lyrics! She has no idea... perhaps one day.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Creepy MAGA lunatic Mike Johnson isn’t a Speaker, he’s a defender of pedophiles, a protector of Nazis and a terrorist who helped orchestrate the January 6 insurrection. The only room he should be in is a prison cell.

Bashing Dems while Republican representatives can leisurely walk into their local offices and/or into the halls of Congress without an undeniably large crowd demanding who they are working for is a misstep.
Voters need to do their jobs by showing Dems that the people have their backs.

Not expand. Just go after the corruption. Everyone has seen it. They’re corrupt as fuck. Pressure that point. Clarence Thomas should have lost his seat awhile ago for corruption. Kavanaugh got seated via corruption and Gorsuch was illegal to begin with. Democrats need to DEFINE the law.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.
